Bill Kerr

I have had an interest in art for many years and did a fine art and sculpture course at Cumbria College of Art and later at Preston Polytechnic concentrating on printmaking and sculpture. This was a long time ago as l am now retired and devote much of my time to art.  

My art has been invaluable during the lockdown period providing me with a focus. The results have been varied in success as l have had failures, but it has made me think more about the creative process and what l want to achieve. I paint in watercolour and acrylics and have used oil paint, pastels, charcoal, and recently l have made plaster and recycled card sculptures. 

I love walking my dog where l find objects that can be turned into art. This small selection of paintings represents my style at the moment, but l change ideas and methods frequently which is vital to keep my art going forward.
